Nursery supervision of toilet use

4 replies

Is it normal for recently toilet trained kids to be left to use the loo unattended at nursery? Dd getting rash from bad wiping at nursery, and transpires it is cos not all loo trips supervised. She is 2.5. Ok or not? I am all set to complain but wanted a sense check...

I am 99% sure my dd was unsupervised for most toilet trips at nursery at that age

I am 100% sure my ds was /is supervised at every toilet trip. He is 3. I know this because I used to get notes when he was still training that they had changed his pants as he had dribbled or whatever.
I would find it very odd if a 2.5 year old was left to their own devices. Unhelpful at best and unhygienic at worst.

My dc just turned at the time of starting nursery, and was coming home with wet clothes and/or knickers and occasionally skid marks (sorry tmi). So I asked the staff if they were helping with toilet trips. The answer was that they do help, but try encouraging the children to go themselves. Dc said she was always told to go by herelf. It affected her, she has always hated wetting herself or not being cleaned properly. She disliked using the nursery toilets, only using if absolutely necessary and would be bursting on reaching home most days. This year of nursery dc's keyworker is lovely, I explained my concerns and she has been taking dc to the toilet, though she is nearly 4 now and much more capable of using it herself.
2.5 is very small, and would need assistance I think.
